Greg posted an idea for a mix, the dog days of autumn, and I liked it. So the other morning I made this happen. I was listening to it today as Canoga Park became covered with clouds and cooled off for the first time since I got here, it fit well. It's strange that there are a few songs with fire in the title. Think of that what you will.

I asked Dan if he'd like to make a mix and lo and behold when I got up this morning there it was. He named it "dirt sticks", I would assume because he just moved to the "sticks" so to speak out in Placerita Canyon somewhere. I can almost picture him working on his still or whittling a punji stick. Dan included a bit of reading material to correspond with his mix and all I will say is that it surprises me in the least that he has a copy of it.

I get words stuck in my head. Today it was reset. It made me think about how we haven't put any mixes up in a bit, so I threw a quick fiver together. Hopefully this gets the ball rolling. Bill's computer has been broken, but I think he got a new one, so that should lead to more mixes soon.

The other day someone pointed out that the two band stickers I have on my car both have at least one female member. So? I love the ladies, and I listen to quite a few female fronted bands. I was like ten when the whole Riot Grrl thing was happening so I'm not pretending this in some way encapsulates a movement, it's just a mix. Enjoy!

I don't normally smoke. I did the other day on my lunch break. I was really nervous and scared and I had the shakes. I drank a beer and it didn't help. I smoked some cigarettes, those didn't help either. So I made a mix. I still was shaking.

I made this mix for my cousin who was born in the glorious year of our lord 1982. Beforehand I did a little research and 1982 was basically one of the best years in music ever. Refute me if you must but I'm going to go ahead and make a pre-emptive "I beg to differ..."

Go to your generic default music player (let's be honest it's all Itunes) put it on random and push play. The mysteries of the universe will be revealed. Here are mine, some are funny, a couple are a bit too on the nose, and the rest are just plain creepy. Enjoy!
